When you say "moving a slider" -- is this a slider on the 
Nanokontrol or in the GUI?  If NanoK, how did you set up the 
MIDI with Ingen?

Also... which amplifier plugin did you use?  Did you try a 
different one?

Well, 2.0/127.0 = 0.0157... so that part makes sense.  (Fyi, 
this is -18 dB.)

Not sure why it stays there.  Your chain (I think) is NanoK 
-> MIDI -> Ingen -> Plugin.  Need to figure out where in the 
chain the message is getting dropped.
